Overview

The design-led Ion City Hotel is an urban retreat on a buzzing street in downtown Reykjavik, with panoramic mountain views, in-room saunas and easy access to Iceland’s great outdoors. Recycled wood panelling, lava-studded walls and bird’s-nest lighting acknowledge the natural wonders of this untamed island, while mid-century furniture and muted charcoal tones lend an air of Scandi sophistication. The house restaurant serves creative North African cuisine – it’s always buzzing with a hip local crowd, not least because Iceland’s Chef of the Year is in the kitchen.

Highlights:

  • Scandi design

  • City hub location

  • Acclaimed restaurant

Packing tips:

Enough woollies to keep you warm, but leave space in your case for one more – the snuggly sweaters in the hotel boutique are handmade by the owner’s mum.

Dress code:

It’s tempting to stay snug in your Scandi woollens, but take it up a notch for dinner at Sumac – Reykjavik’s cool kids are watching.

Dining information

Restaurant:

There’s a buzz about Sumac, and it’s easy to see why: seasonal local ingredients are infused with Moroccan and Lebanese flavours, under the expert eye of Iceland’s Chef of the Year 2017, Hafsteinn Ólafsson. The space is inspired by the faded glory of Beirut, with rough-hewn timber walls, exposed plaster, and articulated-lamp lighting. The grilled octopus is basted in harissa aioli and served with chermoula and spinach, while the lamb ribs are butchered on-island and come with lentils, grapes and almonds.

Top Table:

Take a perch at the bar counter, for a front-row view of the kitchen.

Last Orders:

Breakfast is served from 7am to 10am, lunch is from noon until 2pm, and dinner is from 5pm until 11pm. The bar’s open from noon until midnight, every day.

Room Service:

Order from the Sumac kitchen anytime between noon and 11pm; options include harissa chicken wings and chunks of deep-fried cod.

Hotel Bar:

Take a seat on a cast-iron stool at the Sumac, and order a local Reyka vodka cocktail served in a copper tankard, or choose a tipple from the wine list; the Chateau Ksara Reserve du Couvent is imported straight from Lebanon, and will be well matched to your meze.
